SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent N0. 283, 198, dated August14, 1883.

Application filed May 12, 1883, (No model.)

Z 0 (ZZZ whom, it may concern:

Be it known that I, J osHUA EDWIN LANE BRADEEN, of South Berwiek, in thecounty of York, of the State of Maine, have invented a new and usefulImprovement in Machinery for Punching or Cutting Metal or otherMaterial;

and I do hereby declare the same to be described in the followingspecification and represented in the accompanying drawings, of

which Figure l is atop view, and Fig. 2 aside elevation, of a machinefor punching button-holes of the lever A is connected by two links, H,with the upper arm of a pendulous or pedal lever, D, extending downthrough and fulcrumed to the standard. The longer arm of the lever D,curved as shown, is furnished at its lower part with'a journal, e,projecting from it laterally at a right angle to it, and sup porting afoot-rest, d, which may be/revoluble on such journal. An attendant, onplacing his foot on such rest, can swing with his leg the lever D backand forth, so as to produce a re ciprocating motion .of the lever Aduring each advance and each return movement of such lever D. The linkor links and the upper arm of the pedal-lever D operate as tog gles tomove the lever A and cause its tool to pua eh or cut in each descent ofit upon the Instead of two separate links, a single one, pivoted to thetwo levers A and B, maybe used.

I am aware that a punch has been devised having a foot-lever which isconnected to and operates the cutter-carrying arm.

What I claim is The combination of the standard B, having the bed 0, thelever A, carrying the cutter a, and fulcrumed to the standard B at b,the pedal lever D, and links 1, connecting the lever D and the lever A,all constructed, arranged, and combined as and for the purpose setforth.
